“Lindsay did a truly amazing job with our cat Stanley!! She went above and beyond to make sure he was cared for, playing with him and giving him cuddles every time she visited. She gave incredibly detailed updates about our guy and sent a large amount of pictures every visit. Very responsive to any of our concerns and always showed up on time. Cannot recommend Lindsay more highly!”

About: I grew up always having two dogs in the home - usually midsize dogs. I have experience dogsitting for extended periods of time for friends and family too! I currently work from home and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. Feel free to reach out with questions! I currently work full-time from home and have a relatively flexible schedule. I am able to take breaks throughout the day as needed to take care of any pets! I am happy to communicate with you while caring for your pet - sending text and photo updates as requested, whatever makes being away easier!
“Jada is amazing!! Can not recommend her enough, she is on time, super responsive, and also a pet whisperer!! Would trust her again and again to take care of our cat. Will be booking her again for any and all needs. Can not recommend enough!”
“Personable, attentive and responsive to our dogs. Julia immediately engaged with our pups, made them feel comfortable, and walked them around the neighborhood. Gives excellent positive reinforcement for their behavior. Communicates well, gives updates, and asks for details on care and activities. Definitely someone to trust with your pet.”
“Larisa was amazing and went above and beyond caring for our 2 cats and watering our garden. She sent great updates each visit and we felt our pets were loved while we were gone.”
About: I’ve always helped to take care of my friends and neighbors’ pets. I’m new to the Baltimore/Towson area and looking for new clients :) Would love to learn about all the dog friendly places in the area that owners recommend :) I am new to the area so I am taking time to settle in before looking for jobs, so my schedule is very flexible currently! Since I just moved to the area, I am unemployed while I settle in so I have lots of free time to get back into pet sitting! I have a 2 year old cat as well as a rescued 6 year old dog. I enjoy playing with both of them and making sure they’re stimulated daily!

Vikki H.
“Vikki has been wonderful to my Hazel. Hazel is a senior yellow lab and has arthritis and is partially blind. Vikki was gentle but still playful with Hazel (Hazel still likes to play around as if she’s a puppy). I was comforted by Vikki keeping in contact with me and giving me updates on how Hazel was doing. Vikki was always quick to reply when I checked in. Hazel enjoys Vikki’s company and is always excited to have her around. I highly recommend Vikki for any dog-sitting needs.”
Riverside pet parents share their Rover experiences
This was my first time using Rover and I am so thankful I booked with Nataly to do drop in visits for my two cats. She was super communicative even before the first visit. Her timely check ins with pictures and a summary of the visit put my mind at ease while I was out of town. One of my hairball prone cats left a mess and Nataly took the time to scrub the carpet as well as let me know exactly where the accident was in case I wanted to give it a second clean (but I couldn’t even tell it was there!). I will definitely book with Nataly next time I need a sitter.
Vivien was great! Agreed to a last-minute booking to check up on my cat for the week, and was super. They provided good updates about how my guy was doing as he was getting over a cold, and when I couldn’t remember where his brush was, she took the initiative to buy one! Will definitely be using them again in the future!
Larisa was absolutely wonderful! My cat can be difficult to get along with, but Larisa clearly understands cats and how to care for them. She sent the sweetest photos and descriptions of her visits. My cat was so well cared for, and Larisa was a joy to work with. I will definitely be requesting her again.
Hannah was fantastic. A last minute booking after a previous arrangement fell through, we were so relieved to be referred to Hannah. Our three cats, each with their own vibes and needs, were for the most part truly unbothered by our absence with Hannah taking care. We’re so appreciative!!
